anybody ever do that before? I know you could do a variety of things to fix the OG, but what about just leaving it as is and taking away from the FG?
for example, recipe calls for OG 1.050 and FG of 1.010.
drunken homebrewer doesn't pay attention to his recipe and lands at 1.060. How about calling it done at 1.020 instead? what effect would it have? I know that if I bring it down to intended FG then i just have a stronger beer and i dont win any awards, and taste may be a little drier. more curious about compensating and stopping at 1.020.
cheers.
edit....I actually did this on my orange pale ale and added more water to my boil, but i was contemplating just leaving it at 1.060 and stopping at 1.023 vs 1.013. My OG was supposed to be 1.050.
